Air Transport Research Society 5 Many Previous Studies have one or more of the following shortcomings u Limited to analysis of airports in a certain country or continent. u Used less than comprehensive measures; u Ignored Multiple Outputs/Services –especially ignoring Non-Aeronautical Services (Commercial; Development, etc) u Ignored so-called soft-cost inputs including outsourcing services u Did not control for the factors beyond managerial control

Air Transport Research Society 6 Airports Included in the 2007 Report* Canada-U.S.63 airports Europe43 airports and 10 airport groups Asia 27 airports and 5 airport groups Australia and NZ 9 airports ------------------------------------------------------------- Total142 airports and 14 airport groups *** Need your help in order to include more airports; Can you help us with the data?

Air Transport Research Society 19 Methodology for productivity MEASUREMENT – contd u Multiple Outputs: Aircraft movements, passengers, Cargo Tonnes, and non- aeronautical services output u The first step for computing any productivity is to aggregate these multiple outputs into a single output index u Similarly, airports use multiple inputs which need to be aggregated into a single input index.

Air Transport Research Society 22 Results on Effects of Airport Characteristics on gross VFP u (Airport size: some mixed results on the effects of airport output scale: larger airports are expected to have higher gross VFP, however, the effects may level off once airports reach certain size); u %International: airports with higher proportion of international passengers are likely to have lower gross VFP. u %Cargo: airports with larger proportion of cargo traffic are expected to have higher VFP. u Capacity Constraints: congested airports are likely to have higher gross VFP. These factors beyond airports managerial control have been removed from our VFP measure before computing the residual VFP.

Air Transport Research Society 42 User Charge vs. Service Quality Trade Off u Airport should be run as efficiently as possible u But when it comes to User Charge vs. Service Quality trade-off ? Go for providing high service quality to airlines and passenger even if you raise user charges
